ENTRAINMENT MODELS
Citation:
FRICK, W. E. ENTRAINMENT MODELS. Presented at Invited Lecture at the Georgia Insitute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, March 29, 2006.
Impact/Purpose:
A main objective of this task is to combine empirical and physical mechanisms in a model, known as Visual Beach, that
- is user-friendly
- includes point and non-point sources of contamination
- includes the latest bacterial decay mechanisms
- incorporates real-time and web-based ambient and atmospheric and aquatic conditions
- and has a predictive capability of up to three days to help avert potential beach closures.
Description:
This presentation presented information on entrainment models. Entrainment models use entrainment hypotheses to express the continuity equation. The advantage is that plume boundaries are known. A major disadvantage is that the problems that can be solved are rather simple. The purpose of this presentation is to argue that simple entrainment models can help to refine complex fluid dynamics models.
